Hip Dip Skippedabeat Lyrics[Intro]
(Horns!) Sha-ba, sha-ba, de da
Sha-ba, do da
Sha-ba, do da
Sha-ba, sha-ba, de da
Sha-ba, do da
Sha-ba, do da
Sha-ba, sha-ba, de da
Sha-ba, do da
Sha-ba, do da
Sha-ba, sha-ba, de da
Sha-ba, do da
Sha-ba, do da
[Verse 1]
He was slicker than slick, some say hipper than that
He wore zoot suits and spats galore, and Stetson hats
Uh, he liked his pin stripes candy red
He was every lady's fantasy, or so they said
[Pre-Chorus]
Hip Dip Skippedabeat was his name
Too cool to move my feet
The land from which he came
[Chorus]
(Horns!) Sha-ba, sha-ba, de da
Sha-ba, do da
Sha-ba, do da
Sha-ba, sha-ba, de da
Sha-ba, do da
Sha-ba, do da
Sha-ba, sha-ba, de da (I'm Hip Dip Skippedabeat)
Sha-ba, do da
Sha-ba, do da (Too cool to move my feet)
Sha-ba, sha-ba, de da
Sha-ba, do da (Ice cold)
Sha-ba, do da
[Verse 2]
While working and weaving at the club one night
Dip laid eyes on a... a sexy sight
She was stacked for days, and twice as cute
Dip said "What's your name?" – she said "Juicy Fruit"
[Verse 3]
"Is it after some chewing material, that you are named?"
"No way, darling!" she exclaimed
"You see, I'm hot and cold, and as sweet as you
Ain't no need to talk (word!)
'Cause you dig my style–I dig yours
'Nough said, let's walk"
[Chorus]
(Hit me!)
Sha-ba, sha-ba, de da (Hip Dip Skippedabeat)
Sha-ba, do da
Sha-ba, do da (Too cool to move my feet)
Sha-ba, sha-ba, de da
Sha-ba, do da (Rhythm and roll)
Sha-ba, do da (I said I'm)
Sha-ba, sha-ba, de da (Hip Dip Skippedabeat)
Sha-ba, do da
Sha-ba, do da (Too cool to move my feet)
Sha-ba, sha-ba, de da
Sha-ba, do da (Ice cold)
Sha-ba, do da
[Verse 4]
It was on the dance floor, that Dip and Juicy began to Smurf
Did not take long to see: he was on her turf
They bumped and boogied, I mean rocked the floor
Pop, snap, crackle, jump back (right there!)–and then some more
[Verse 5]
I mean she threw down sideways
Perpendicular and horizontal too
Even did something new on Dip
Something called Corkscrew (she could dance!)
The crowd grew quiet, it was such a strange scene...
Was the Dip whipped, and Juicy the Queen?
[Chorus]
Sha-ba, sha-ba, de da
Sha-ba, do da
Sha-ba, do da
Sha-ba, sha-ba, de da
Sha-ba, do da
Sha-ba, do da
Sha-ba, sha-ba, de da (I'm Hip Dip Skippedabeat)
Sha-ba, do da
Sha-ba, do da (Too cool to move my feet)
Sha-ba, sha-ba, de da
Sha-ba, do da (Ice cold)
Sha-ba, do da
[Verse 6]
At that moment, Dip peeped that vibration
Could this be it? Was his cool on cancellation?
Just then Dip did a number, I mean like a gyroscope
Something called transcendental body slamming
I mean, Dip went for broke
[Verse 7]
At that point Juicy surrendered
She said, "I guess I've been outdone"
Dip said, "Ain't no thing, just big fun
But you the baddest girl I'll ever see
You know, I rank you second only to me"
[Chorus]
('Cause I'm) Sha-ba, sha-ba, de da (Hip Dip Skippedabeat)
Sha-ba, do da
Sha-ba, do da (Too cool to move my feet)
Sha-ba, sha-ba, de da
Sha-ba, do da (Rhythm and roll)
Sha-ba, do da
(I said I'm) Sha-ba, sha-ba, de da (Hip Dip Skippedabeat)
Sha-ba, do da
Sha-ba, do da (Too cool to move my feet)
Sha-ba, sha-ba, de da
Sha-ba, do da (Ice cold)
Sha-ba, do da
[Chorus/outro]
Sha-ba, sha-ba, de da
Sha-ba, do da
Sha-ba, do da
Sha-ba, sha-ba, de da
Sha-ba, do da
Sha-ba, do da
(I said I'm) Sha-ba, sha-ba, de da (Hip Dip Skippedabeat)
Sha-ba, do da
Sha-ba, do da (Too cool to move my feet)
Sha-ba, sha-ba, de da
Sha-ba, do da (Ice cold)
Sha-ba, do da
